What is Infrared:

Infrared is an invisible light that is part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Ever use a charcoal grill? Notice how the coals don’t produce light yet you can feel the heat? That’s infrared. Our bodies naturally send and receive infrared waves. Infrared is not to be confused with harmful UV rays. There are no UV rays inside infrared saunas.

We offer saunas that are equipped with far infrared and full spectrum infrared. Far infrared energy heats your body directly, penetrating 1.5” deep into the skin. Because your body is being heated directly, you are producing a deeper sweat than you would in a conventional sauna. Full spectrum offer advanced near, mid and far infrared technologies. Our Clearlight True Wave Full Spectrum sauna heating system provides all wavelengths 100% of the time to optimize your sauna session.

Sauna rooms 1 and 2 offer full spectrum and Sauna rooms 4 and 5 offer far infrared.

Traditional vs. Infrared Sauna:

Traditional saunas solely heat the room and often times have steam in the air. This can result in a stuffy, humid environment that can be hard on the respiratory and cardiovascular system. Temperatures inside a traditional sauna can reach upwards of 200ºF. Infrared on the other hand heats your body directly, leaving the sauna cabin at a lower temperature. Average temperatures during a session can range 125-165ºF. The reduced temperature and lack of humidity make for a more enjoyable sauna experience.

Halotherapy (Salt therapy):

We now offer a Halotherapy device in sauna rooms 1 and 2. It was designed and engineered to provide beneficial salt healing, inside our sauna session.

Halotherapy has been popular in Europe for many decades after doctors discovered that workers in salt mines had few respiratory ailments when compared to the general public. The salt inside your infrared sauna is odorless and is said to provide respiratory cleansing.
